This outing was for Labor Day Weekend 2025. Weather was calm winds with highs in the mid to upper 70's for the weekend. Water temps were around 69 degrees. Bass seemed to be biting all over, caught some nice smallies and largemouth, but found the pattern for largies. The pattern was that the largies were feeding on small bluegill and cruising the reed edges and inside openings. Caught them pretty good for the weekend and was a blast. On one outing I caught 10 very nice largies in little over 1.5 hours. Every bass I caught this weekend was absolutely putting on the feedbag and were super fat!

This was over Labor Day weekend. I normally try to fish a bit slower and throw jigs and drop shots, I had a bit of a slow time. My buddy however was throwing jackhammers, and MN rigs and definitely out fished me for the weekend. Seemed to want moving baits near the weeks and some rock points.
